Two chances to see Carolyn German 's cabaret! www.Broadwayworld.com 's Stephen Mosher says: "With showwomanship for days and an exciting vocal instrument, Carolyn German is easily one of the most entertaining storytellers you're likely to catch in concert. Her commitment to telling the story is equal to her commitment to connecting with the audience…With a flair for the humorous that informs most of her lyrics, Ms. German takes a few opportunities to surprise with something tender or torchy, both in her writing and her performing, which go hand in hand with great ease. Here is no songwriter who cannot also perform - this is a renaissance woman who is on the stage to give her all with songs whose melodies have as much follow-through as the lyrics highlight poetry. Whether leaning toward the theatrical or melting into the emotional, German's songs and performances display an unusual balance - there is absolutely no inequity between tune and lyric, or singing and songwriting. Carolyn German's is a complete talent, though the songwriter German needs to prepare herself because every singer should be contacting her with a request for one of her creations - she could and easily should be a name on lists that include Carol Hall and Christine Lavin. As a singing actress, Carolyn gave it everything she had, something she had the luxury of doing since her MD, the incomparable Ian Herman, had her back the entire time, relieving her of any worry about anything other than her storytelling." See you there!

Audition Tip: How you handle a Cold Reading can make or break your audition.... One of the simplest things you can do is ASK the director if there is anything specific they are looking for from your character in the scene, and then make sure you LISTEN to their answer, so that you can make the acting choices that show them that you can take direction.

Audition tip: When auditioning for musicals, choose the 32 bars that best show off YOUR voice and acting chops!
